IN MEMORIAM.

At the 26th instant, at the residence of
her husband in this district, ELIZA, be-
loved wife of John I. johnson, aged about
80 years.
Gone from earth, yes, gone forever
Tcardimmed eyes shall gaze in vain:
We shall hear her voice, oh never.
Never more on earth again.
Home is sad, oh. God, how dreay-
Lonesome, lonesome every spot,
Listening for her voice, till weary,
Weary, for We hear il not
God of love, send us some token,
From the spirit world above
That these hearts, all crushed and broken,
May be healed by heavenly love-
FRIEND
On Friday, the 22nd Of April, 1887, the
spirit of Mrs. MARTHA Z. FOWLER
gained entrance into that heavenly rest
prepared by loving Father.
All! dear grandma, can il be
No more thy look of love I'll see:
Those loving eyes now closed in death,
Ill think ofwith my latest breath.
Yes, she has gone to rest.
Her toll on earth is DER,
And can we dare to disobey
When He has summoned thee away.
Home is sad now, oh God. how dreary.
Lonesome, lonely every spot,
Listening for your dear voice till weary,
Weary, for We hear il not.
After long illness of severe bodily suf-
fering our beloved grandmother has fallen
asleep in Jesus, "a awaken in the realms
above. There she shall ever live and reign
with Him whom she So faithfully loved on
earth.
She was a devoted wife, kind, tender and
loving mother, an obliging neighbor, an
earnest and true Christian. She expe-
rienced enough of mortal i'll 10 brighten her
immortal bliss, which she has now, We
trust, gone home 10 enjoy forever. Below
ed friends and bereaved ones weep not for
her, for she has been taken 10 an eyerlast-
ing home of righteousness; but rather weep
that we are not as free from earthly tolls
and troubles and with her in heaven. Be
loved children, weep no more, for she is at
rest, and you will soon be called 10 meet
her where YOU will not weep but rejoice
with her forever. The fatal wound that
has been inflicted upon YOU can never he
healed, but the example she has set you
should be blessing 20 guide you through
life.
Yea, the night dew that falls upon her.
Though in silence it wceps,
Shall brighten with green venture
The grave where she sleeps.
And the tears that we she'd for her,
Though in secret they roll,
Shall forever keep her memory
Ever green in our souls.
